Compliance Standards

Nowadays, all kinds of companies are expanding their horizons and pushing their boundaries beyond what can be done in a physical office space. Even before the COVID-19 pandemic and its effects on businesses across the world, mobility and flexibility have been strategic priorities. Now, our new normal has made most businesses at least partially remote.

“Do not trust anyone!” The catchphrase that best describes zero trust, is a security concept encouraging organizations to automatically distrust all network activity. As this security concept gains traction, many security providers are flooding the market with solutions. In this article, we will unpack the top technologies for a zero trust cybersecurity architecture. 

There’s been a paradigm shift over the past decade and a half in the world of cybersecurity. Whereas older models and systems prioritized perimeter defense, the definition of “perimeter” itself has changed over time. Today, businesses are increasingly mobile and remote, utilizing cloud servers to extend the workforce far outside the office or headquarters.

These changes are all the more necessary in our current environment of pandemic response. Our mandated practices of social distancing and work from home (WFH) have created an environment in which every company is rethinking its perimeters in real time. These challenging times call for new practices, and zero trust framework is the future of cybersecurity.
